1328 - Proverbs 19 part 2

Proverbs 19 part 2


Lazy people sleep soundly, but their idleness leaves them hungry.


Keep the commandments and keep your life; despise them and it leads you to death.


If you help the poor, you are lending to the Lord—and he will repay you!


Discipline your children, while there is hope. Otherwise, you will ruin their lives.


Hot-tempered people must pay the penalty. If you rescue them once, you will have to do it again.


Get all the advice and instruction you can, so that you will be wise for the rest of your life.


You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.


Loyalty makes a person attractive.


It is better to be poor than dishonest.


Fear of the Lord leads to life; It brings security and protection from harm.


Lazy people take food in their hand, but don’t even lift it to their mouth.


If you punish a mocker, the simpleminded will not learn a lesson; but if you correct the wise, they will be all the wiser.


Children, who mistreat their father or chase away their mother, are an embarrassment and a public disgrace.


If you stop listening to instruction, my child, you will turn your back on knowledge.


A corrupt witness makes a mockery of justice; and the mouth, of the wicked, gulps down evil.


Punishment is made for mockers,

and the backs of fools are made to be beaten.

Praise be to God!

1122 - Job Asks God How He Has Sinned

Job Asks God How He Has Sinned “O God, grant me these two things, …and then I will be able to face you. Remove Your heavy hand from me, and don’t terrify me with Your awesome presence. Now summon me, and I will answer! Or let me speak to You, and You reply. Tell me, what have I done wrong? Show me my rebellion, and my sin. Why do You turn away from me? Why do you treat me as Your enemy? Would You terrify a leaf blown by the wind? Would You chase dry straw? “You write bitter accusations against me, and bring up all the sins, of my youth. You put my feet in stocks. You examine all my paths. You trace all my footprints. I waste away like rotting wood, like a moth-eaten coat.   “How frail is humanity! How short is life, how full of trouble! We blossom like a flower, and then wither. Like a passing shadow, we quickly disappear. Must You keep an eye on such a frail creature, and demand an accounting from me? Who can bring purity …out of an impure person? No one! You have decided the leng...

Moses Chooses Seventy Leaders

​ Moses Chooses Seventy Leaders The Lord said to Moses,  “Gather before Me …seventy men, who are recognized, as elders and leaders of Israel.  Bring them to the Tabernacle, to stand there with you.  I will come down and talk to you there.  I will take some of the Spirit …that is upon you, and I will put this Spirit, upon them.  They will bear the burden, of the people, along with you, so you will not have to carry it alone.  “And say to the people,  ‘Purify yourselves, for tomorrow you will have meat to eat.  You were whining, and the Lord heard you when you cried…  “Oh, for some meat!  We were better off in Egypt!”  Now the Lord will give you meat, and you will have to eat it.  And it won’t be for just a day …or two, or for five, or ten, or even twenty.  You will eat it for a whole month until you gag and are sick of it.  For you have rejected the Lord, Who is here among you, and you have whined to Him, saying, ...

1251 - Psalm 102 (part-1)

Psalm 102 (part-1) A prayer of one overwhelmed with trouble, pouring out problems before the Lord. Lord, hear my prayer! Listen to my plea! Don’t turn away from me, in my time of distress. Bend down to listen, and answer me quickly when I call to you. For my days disappear like smoke, and my bones burn like red-hot coals. My heart is sick, withered like grass, and I have lost my appetite. Because of my groaning, I am reduced to skin and bones. I am like an owl in the desert, like a little owl in a far-off wilderness. I lie awake, lonely as a solitary bird on the roof. My enemies taunt me day after day. They mock and curse me. I eat ashes for food. My tears run down into my drink, because of your anger and wrath. For you have picked me up and thrown me out. My life passes as swiftly as the evening shadows. I am withering away like grass. But you, O Lord, will sit on your throne forever. Your fame will endure to every generation. You will arise and have mercy on Jerusalem*—and now is the...
